CNCS State Offices and State Service Commissions

The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) supports collaboration among national, state, and local entities. Together, CNCS State Offices and State Service Commissions coordinate the resources of CNCS at the state and local levels.

What's the difference between a CNCS State Office and a State Service Commission?

CNCS State Offices are federal offices staffed by federal employees in the state. They conduct public outreach and program support. They are directly responsible for developing grants and projects, and for overseeing all Senior Corps and AmeriCorps VISTA projects within their states.

Each CNCS State Office works closely with the governor-appointed State Service Commissions in their state.

State Service Commissions provide CNCS funding to AmeriCorps state programs in their states through annual grant competitions. In addition, the commissions manage, monitor and evaluate these AmeriCorps programs.
